OP-ED: Fixing the PPE shortage should top Biden’s to-do list

In the run-up to the election, there were two devastating accounts of how President Donald Trump and his son-in-law Jared Kushner botched the government’s response to the initial shortage of personal protective equipment — the masks, gloves, gowns and other gear hospital workers desperately need as they treat COVID-19 patients.
One was a lengthy article in Vanity Fair by Katherine Eban, an investigative health reporter. The other was a documentary, “Totally Under Control,” by Alex Gibney, the Oscar-winning filmmaker, and co-directors Ophelia Harutyunyan and Suzanne Hillinger.
The story they both tell is classic Trump: Hubris and incompetence turn a serious problem into an utter disaster. Kushner sets up the COVID-19 Supply Chain Task Force, fills it with 20-somethings who know nothing about sourcing hospital supplies, and walks away. Not surprisingly, they fail.
Trump and Kushner take dark pleasure in watching desperate state governments — mostly in blue states — bid against each other for what supplies are available. The administration even impounds — “steals” is not too strong a word — imported PPE that hospitals and distributors had sourced and paid for. To this day, no one knows where that equipment resides.
President-elect Joe Biden, of course, has vowed to put the fight against the pandemic at the top of his agenda. On Nov. 9, he named a 13-member coronavirus task force, led by three scientists. He also listed a series of measures he plans to take as soon as he assumes office in January, including ramping up testing, providing the resources to allow schools and small businesses to reopen, implementing a national mask mandate — and taking steps to fix the chronic shortages of personal protective equipment.
